Using MDMA when you have a headache

Couldn't see another thread on this. I was considering using MD this weekend at a friend's birthday party, but I am worried about using anything because I have a really bad headache. I've had it for nearly 2 weeks now and I've been diagnosed with tension headaches from a physio and I'm getting treatment that will take 3-6 weeks. The pain has nothing to do with dehydration or neurology or stress, it is purely related to strained muscles in my neck and back.

Anyway, would taking MDMA make the headache worse? Does MD stiffen muscles in anyway? I won't be dancing or anything just hanging out with some mates. I'll have some benzos on hand too so I won't stay up until midday and have the headache get worse from lack of sleep. Would a benzo with the MD be a good combination to help loosen up my muscles so I can relax and have fun? It's pretty horrible having a headache all day long for 2 weeks so I wouldn't mind a break from it all, even if it's just for a few hours.

I asked the physio about alcohol and he said that it would not make my headaches worse or trigger a headache.

Anyway, just wondering if anybody has taken MD with a headache and what has happened. Wouldn't want to waste my roll.

Cheers

MDMA really loosens me up. I wouldn't think it would stiffen your muscles. If you're not dancing or anything you'll probably be fine.

As for benzos, I wouldn't take them until after the roll or if you do get more tension in your muscles. They will really dull the high.
 
No I have the same thing going on except I haven't been able to get it resolved, on massage therapy now that is definitely starting to help though.
But anyways the MDMA will make them go away, but during the comedown they may be worse or maybe the next day because of muscle tension, it is a stimulant after all.
 
What Holy Toast said is pretty spot on.

Definitely be positive that you have MDMA though. I couldn't imagine what MDA would do to a headache when you come down (one of the only things that ever gave me a headache was the MDA comedown, I am not prone to them at all) and piperazines have been known to give headaches during as well as after.
 
I wouldn't recommend using a stimulant. Although during the high people feel pretty loose, the comedown can be insanely tense and dehydrating, amplifying the headache a lot.
 
Do you normally have a bad comedown after taking MDMA? If you do then do not take it as a comedown on top of a lasting headache will make you feel awful. If you don't have a bad comedown and want to drop then remember your posture - its so easy to just sit in the one position because you feel comfortable even though you may be sitting in a dodgy position (and put further strain on your neck/back muscles).

MDMA can be very relaxing for your mind and body - just make sure your in a comfortable position and keep an eye on hydration.

If in doubt, save your pill and just take a benzo and chill out with your friends.
 
My comedowns are usually fine. It's more alcohol hangovers that give me crippling headaches and nausea. My MDMA is very pure powder so there's no stimulant contaminants.

Guess I'll just hold back on the alcohol and have fun then.

Thanks everybody.
 
Try some magnesium as it helps reduce muscle tension in general and is also useful in reducing muscle tension caused my stimulants...ie jaw clenching
 
How much magnesium? I have been using it for my back/neck pain, but it doesn't seem to do much so maybe my dose is too low.

Actually, come to think about jaw-clenching would probably trigger a headache as it's closely linked to your neck, i.e the source of my headaches.

I don't know, maybe I'll do a small test.

Oh god this stuff I have now gives me the WORST comedowns and the WORST headaches during them, but I really doubt it's MDA
MDMA is definitely the gentlest in the comedowns, other feel-a-likes always give me horrible comedowns and mess me up for days after

Why are you using it if its so bad? Yuck. I can't stand headaches. I won't touch anything that gives me one again unless it was really really worth it.

Go to a pharmacy and try get magnesium glycinate or digylcinate whether its standalone or a magnesium blend... Take the reccomended dose before you roll, an hour before or so. It should in general also help with your neck tension.
 
I suffer from extreme migraines and chronic muscle tension in my neck from many head injuries when I was a teenager and a child. I can tell you that I was in a similar situation at a party when I had extremeley bad neck tension and a headache developing. My girlfriend suggested dropping some E so we dropped 2 pills each and as it came on all my tension let go in one instance and it was actually quite painfull! But I soon felt absolutely beyond awesome because I had the instant relief of the chronic pain and I was rolling! All tension remained gone for a good week.
 
So it turns out that MDMA does not make headaches worse. I had BK-MDMA instead because I didn't want a huge night and it didn't affect me in any way negatively.

I did develop a headache in the morning after as I was coming down, but that could have just been hangover/lack of sleep, nothing some panadol couldn't fix.
 
Did you end up trying a magnesium preload?

Yeah I'd say it was just the general effects on your body of partying that caused that headache afterwards.
 
Yup, I took double the dose too. The bottle recommended three tablets for migraines.
